When their only arguments are insults, they lose the debate

From my article that will be appearing later today at Press TV or Veterans Today:

For
the first time in history, an American university is hosting an event
questioning the official stories of 9/11, the JFK assassination, and
the Nazi holocaust.

The
conference, entitled "Academic Freedom: Are There Limits To
Inquiry?" is being held today, April 26th, at the University of
Illinois Urbana-Champaign. I will be participating, along with four
other current or former professors: James Fetzer (Philosophy of
Science), Nicholas Kollerstrom (History of Science), David Robinson
(Education) and Winfield Abbe (Physics)...

...Why are the holocaust, the JFK assassination, and 9/11 surrounded by the same kind of taboo? Anyone who questions the official version of any of these three critically-important historical events becomes the target of mindless insults: "holocaust denier," conspiracy theorist," and so on. Why is that? In all three cases, there is strong prima facie evidence that the official story is questionable. Perhaps that is why the questions are taboo - because we are afraid of the likely answers.

State
Rep. Steve Nass (R-Whitewater):
"The taxpayers of Wisconsin and the tuition-paying families
aren’t interested in supporting the University of Wingnuts at
Madison. The time has come to put Wisconsin back into the UW and
firing Mr. Barrett would be a noble first step."

U.W.
Physics Professor Marshall Onellian: "He's a fruitcake. He
has no education in any engineering or science area pertinent to how,
or whether, buildings fall down when hit by airplanes. Since he can't
evaluate the evidence presented, he shouldn't have an opinion...I
simply do not believe that an adult convert to Islam is capable of
objectively teaching, or objectively grading, a course on his
religion. Never would such a person be objective." World Net
Daily, 9/6/2006

U.W.
Law Professor Ann Althouse:
"I think your theory is despicable...I
would no more debate you than I would Nazis or Klansman." (sic)
email, 2/3/2008

U.W.
Political Science Professor Donald Downs:
Barrett's position is "Absurd...beyond the pale..." He
cannot be fired, but should not be rehired. 6/2006

U.W.
Journalism professor Jessica McBride:“We've
been at war for several decades with Islamo fascist terrorists (sic)
who want to destroy our way of life....He
(Kevin Barrett) refused to say that Osama bin Laden is an evil man,
although I asked him this question several times."

Democratic
Gov. Jim Doyle's office: "This
further highlights the governor's concerns about whether somebody who
is touting these outlandish views is fit to teach in the
classroom...This shows that he has no regard to facts...In the
academic world, theories must be based on some factual evidence and
it appears that Mr. Barrett draws conclusions without any factual
basis."

Republican
Gubernatorial candidate Mark Green:
"For far too long, Kevin Barrett has been allowed to propagate
his libelous theories at the UW, and this time he'll be doing it in
front of a worldwide audience (BBC)...(it's) a slap in the
face to families who lost loved ones in the Sept. 11 attacks...If I
were governor, I would not have a gentleman like Mr. Barrett teaching
our students. Elect me governor, and I'll inject some Wisconsin
common sense back into the University of Wisconsin."

“In the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted …they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie… It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously.” -- Adolf Hitler

I sent you the writing on future technologies. As I read it, I thought that this might be the way these three as well as other frauds will be exposed in the future if not by current methods, especially the part on the Watson computer and future computer capabilities. The powers that be have a lot of control now so these frauds and others may not be exposed in our life time. I have personally made the decision to have my beliefs on these three crimes as well as others, documented and to be available for future generations to acknowledge that here rest a man who did not believe these lies.
